Peanut Butter Frosted Brownies – this frosting is CRAZY good! Make a box of brownies and top them with this frosting. Seriously delicious!! I had zero self control around these brownies!! Brownie mix, powdered sugar, vanilla, butter, peanut butter and milk. SO easy and SOOO good! #brownies #peanutbutter #dessert
These brownies were OMGlicious! You must make these ASAP. Luckily, these are super easy to make. I used a box of brownie mix for the base and made the peanut butter frosting on top. The frosting only took a minute to whip up and tasted incredible! These are pretty rich, so I suggest cutting these into small squares. The small squares also enable you to eat more without feeling as guilty (right? right?). I used the new Jif Natural Honey Peanut Butter. It gave the frosting a nice hint of honey (which I love). Make these brownies the next time you need a crowd-pleasing dessert; I guarantee they will fly off the plate.

Just made this…Creamy, smooth and perfect with brownies!
Super simple and super tasty. Two great tastes that go great together.
Would they need to be refrigerated since milk is in the icing? This is always something I've worried about. They look great. I'm a peanut butter fanatic!
Starsky99 – I think crunchy peanut butter would be great!
Lori – I used Ghiradelli triple chocolate brownie mix
Would crunchy peanut butter work for the icing? They look amazing!
These look delicious! What kind of brownie mix did you use?
